Description
Knowledge Development: The course begins with self-study materials and knowledge development sessions. You will learn about the benefits and considerations of diving with Enriched Air Nitrox, including the effects of different oxygen percentages on dive planning and safety. You will understand how to analyze the oxygen content of a gas mixture, calculate maximum depth limits for specific mixtures, and plan dives using Enriched Air Nitrox tables or dive computers.
Practical Application: The Enriched Air Nitrox course includes practical sessions where you will learn how to handle and analyze Enriched Air Nitrox tanks. You will practice using oxygen analyzers to verify the gas mixture's oxygen content, labeling tanks correctly, and setting up dive computers or dive tables for Enriched Air Nitrox dives. These practical sessions ensure that you are familiar with the equipment and procedures involved in diving with Enriched Air Nitrox.
Dive Planning and Execution: Once you have completed the knowledge development and practical sessions, you will apply what you have learned during actual Enriched Air Nitrox dives. You will plan and execute dives using Enriched Air Nitrox, taking into account factors such as maximum operating depths, oxygen exposure limits, and conservative dive profiles. These dives will allow you to experience the benefits of diving with Enriched Air Nitrox, such as longer no-decompression limits and reduced nitrogen absorption.
Certification: Upon successful completion of the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course, you will receive a certification card indicating your qualification as an Enriched Air Nitrox diver. This certification allows you to obtain Enriched Air Nitrox fills from dive centers and participate in Enriched Air Nitrox dives within the limits of your certification.
Diving with Enriched Air Nitrox can offer several advantages, including longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals, which can be particularly beneficial for repetitive diving or when conducting multiple dives in a day. It is important to note that the Enriched Air Nitrox course does not involve learning additional diving skills or techniques but focuses primarily on gas management and dive planning considerations.
